About Us

Cressida Direct is a nationwide, direct lender, specializing in financing commercial and residential investment properties. Cressida Direct offers financing from $150,000 to $5,000,000 on commercial and non-owner occupied residential real estate including residential 1-4 units, multifamily, mixed use, office, retail, light industrial, self-storage, automotive, mobile home park, daycare center, restaurant, bar and warehouse property types.

We know that commercial and residential properties considered small by their loan size often represent a big potential impact to business owners, investors and communities. That’s why Cressida Direct has designed a lending platform to address this underserved niche, bringing back smart, small-balance commercial and residential loans.

Additionally, Cressida Direct is a direct lender originating commercial bridge loans. We provide short-term financing secured by a 1st or 2nd mortgage on commercial real estate. Our open-door lending platform allows us to deliver fast and flexible loans tailored to the specific needs of each client. Capital is available for acquisitions, refinances, repositioning and other market driven opportunities.

With a history of over 50 combined years experience financing real estate transactions, our team has the lending expertise that makes the difference in recognizing and funding viable projects. Cressida Direct applies global underwriting for both commercial and residential investor and owner-occupied commercial transactions, with flexible borrower options on terms, prepayments, amortization and cash-outs. Because we are a non-bank lender, no depository relationships are required.

Our common-sense approach, clear communication and referral source-friendly process define the Cressida Direct customer experience.

Together with our partners, Cressida Direct helps small-business owners and investors finance the opportunities that drive the financial strength and quality of life in their communities.
